UCLA Dental Implant Continuum 2019 - Module 1

UCLA Dental Implant Continuum - Module 1 is organized by UCLA School of Dentistry and will be held from Jan 07 - 11, 2019 at UCLA School of Dentistry, Los Angeles, California, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event is designed to train dentists in all aspects of surgical and restorative implant dentistry procedures including: digital treatment planning, implant placement, management of the esthetic zone, reconstruction of deficient alveolar ridges, use of various loading protocols, fabrication of immediate provisional restorations, and more. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 32 CE credits.

Participants will perform multiple implant surgeries on their own patients throughout the 2-year, 6-module program. Our prestigious faculty will guide you through each step of the process from treatment planning to routine implant placement to advanced grafting procedures, impressions and restoration. Extensive time will be spent in hands-on workshops, in live surgery, and with faculty demonstrations. No implant experience necessary!
